hongbiaoke Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 I remember seeing this on the forum, but I cannot find it again. Do anyone remember how to change the directory of the catalog/admin/ so it becomes something like catalog/1/kjaf/0984mkjva/0jh90j2tnva/qrgtg/ You get my idea? so that people cannot easily guess the folder. Thanks a lot!!
winstanley_john Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 You can put the admin folder where ever you like it doesn't have to be a subdirectory of catalog. Just upload the content of you admin directory to the desired location say /root/php-is-great/my-admin-directory/ and say your catalog directory is here /root/catalog/ then modify the configure.php file in your new admin includes directory so that the paths are mapped correctly. Remeber to .htaccess your admin directory or consider how you want to protect that directory. http://spaces.msn.com/members/JohnWinstanley/ http://www.angelsolutions.co.uk
fribhey Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 moving the admin to a different directory won't secure it.... only password protecting it will.
